Default ZING!!!!!!.......threadlock needed!

So, I am hovering myHBK2 in the driveway...nice and steady,really enjoying myself.
When, all of a sudden, I hear a ZING go by my right ear...kinda like a bullet richochet....only smaller.
I dismiss it as a mosquito or some other bug trying to distract me so I will crash. I keep hovering for about 2 more minutes ,then safely land.
After the rotors stop spinning, I notice something is not quite right......parts are hangin abnormally.
Turns out, the tiny screw that holds a little spindle on had worked loose.......thought I had threadlocked everything,guess I missed that one.
Anyways,see the attached pic for location of said screw.Amazing how it id NOT crash with this part hanging freely....flew just fine in fact!
